A Ruby CMS. Built with Sinatra.

Using Google Analytics

Google's free analytics software is a great way to keep
track of how many people are using your web site, and it's very easy to
configure. You just add the "web property ID" that Google give you when
you sign up to the config file.

Configuring config.yml

Open the config/config.yml file in a text editor and search for
google_analytics_code. Uncomment it, and set it to your site's web
property ID. The web property ID usually starts with "UA", and will look
something like this:

google_analytics_code: UA-1234567-8

you can insert the relevant code by adding a line like this in your
layout template:
